Are the Jews justified in bombing the whole Gaza Strip?

Question

The UN have called there actions excessive, and the only country that are backing them at the moment are the US (who love bombing stuff anyway).

Answer 1

Well, let's say you are from Nevada and someone from California kidnaps a member of your family. Would you be justified in bombing the whole of California? I mean, it is that simple.

Answer 2

What crack are you smoking? Hell YES!!!!!
Look last year they freely walked away from Gaza. Closed the settlements, moved the troops out and dragged peolple who lived there for 30 years out kicking & screaming. Land for peace. That is what everyone said would make the Arabs happy. So what happened??? Instead of building a place for people to live or a economy they elected Hamas. Then they went back to firing rockets. How many turns of the cheek does it take to ***** slap you into Reality??? The gloves are off, and if the Arabs can't take it, then to bad.

In 1916 Pancho Villa came over to the US and shot up a town. We reposponded by sending Jack Pershing to get pay back. The Isrealis are just doing the same thing.

Answer 3

I wouldn't get overly concerned about what the UN calls anything. The UN troops were raping children in Africa and calling it aid. They've ignored slavery and slaughter in the Sudan for years. They ran the oil for Sadam program and UN officials lined their pockets, while Iraqis starved.

Some believe that a just response has to be proportional which is utterly ridiculous. The idea of proportional responses in warfare leaves you, as we have seen in the middle east, in a perpetual state of low intensity war. I think if you must have a war, and killing and capturing soldiers is war, you are morally obligated both to your own people and your enemy to end it as fast as you can, with as little loss of life as possible.

To do that requires overwhelming force. While I don't think the premise of your question is correct if bombing the entire Gaza strip would end the war I would be for it. The war ends when one side quits, or is rendered incapable of carrying on. Bombing is just one element for completing the task.

Answer 4

This incident is a mere flicker in a very long, drawn out war. You can't make assumptions based off a single incident. If I were you, I'd really read into the history of the entire ordeal thats going on there. Israelis and Palestinians are both to blame...But you'll need to do alittle analytical work to figure out who's actions are and arn't justified. Remember, try and be a moderate entity so as to avoid bias....[Which is very hard to do these days.]

Answer 5

Hamas, whose structure specifically demands the destruction of the state of Israel, is listed as a Revolutionary Organization 17 November by the united states, Canada, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdon and the ecu Union and is banned in Jordan. From 2000 to 2004, Hamas became responsible for killing just about four hundred Israelis and wounding more desirable than 2,000 in 425 attacks, in accordance to the Israeli Ministry of overseas Affairs. From 2001 by ought to 2008, Hamas released more desirable than 3,000 Qassam rockets and a pair of,500 mortar attacks hostile to Israeli objectives.

Answer 6

War is never justified...war is just the violent extension of government policy regardless of moral soundness....governments don't care whether a war is wrong or right....they only care about implementing a policy by the most extreme means possible thereby assuring the realization of such policy.

Paraphrased from Karl Von Clausewitz which is the exact opposite of Sun Tzu

Answer 7

Jews will be ****** this time, I really wish. Huh...what kind of patience have been shown by the Jews?? They haven't and never will be patience. What we should address here is the patience of Palestinians. ... Childrens were killed.... They were patience... Oldman with a wheelchair was bombed... They were still patience... Their houses were destroyed... Yet they still patience... Go... Palestinians and whatever your organizations are... Go get your right from those men who have no ground... I am with you and many others in the most parts of the world...

Answer 8

Of course they are. They are protecting themselves from terriost. Most of the Palastines I think want peace but there are some that chose to always fight than work. You ever hear of bombing a factory other than a weapons or bomb making NO>

Answer 9

the israel palestenian conflict is not new, it has been so for long, no one could be of help for the centuries old conflicts in the region, let it be religion,UN,international court. The only possible solution know to the people there is fight and kill and be dominant, they know this well, so let them fight it out, The only thing i know is that they will not run out of people to fight, kill or be killed.

Let them fight it out. Long live the dead,Short live the alive.

Answer 10

Yes. Considering that their surrounded by countries that want to see them wiped off the map , and since their always dealing with terrorist bombings. i think they've finally had enough and we all know where its leading but i cant blame them.

Answer 11

It's not like they are carpet bombing.. You are sensationalizing the incidents. The IDF and Israeli Air Force are targeting rocket and other arab targets.
